Something regarded as cool is an admired aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance
and style, influenced by and a product of the Zeitgeist. Because of the varied and changing
connotations of cool, as well its subjective nature, the word has no single meaning.
It has associations of composure and self-control (cf. the OED definition) and often is used as an
expression of admiration or approval. Although commonly regarded as slang, it is widely
used among disparate social groups, and has endured in usage for generations.
